what do you make of the susan rice fight? is it a fight worth having if you're the president of the united states? >> well, look, when i look at the benghazi issue, i see serious issues about security, did we get our understanding of what was going on in libya right? i'm not sure this issue should be a major issue and i think you mentioned campaigning versus governing before, chris. and i think the administration now needs to move out of campaigning and into governing mode and if they just offer some transparency and accountability here, that maybe we can get past this. lay out what happened. i don't think there's any reason to come out in drips and drabs. >> overly partisan or fair in terms of the back and forth over benghazi? >> to me it strikes me as overly partisan. i mean, susan rice is being blamed for going on "meet the press" and a couple other shows and repeating some talking points. it seems as if certain people have decided she is an easy target, an easy way to get at president obama probably makes president obama
